Logline Wikipedia/Statistical Database

[kurtismae]

A non-profit "Wikipedia" like organization dedicated to recreating loglines from past produced films, while systematically encouraging writers/producers to contribute the "official" loglines for any newly produced films.

This database will serve at least two important purposes:

- as a learning resource for writers

- as a tool for statisticians to much more clearly categorize and analyze the types of new movies being produced in America and around the world.

Just a random thought. Any merit?

kurtismae,

Cool idea

A database of loglines would be of use to a screenwriter as it would allow them to see what has been done and to mix and match loglines to come up with something unique offering Hollyweird what they clamor for: Similar But Different.

The only fly in the ointment is this: don't think you will get the studios and ProdCos to participate -- what's in it for them?

One man's opinion - mileage may vary - batteries not included.

Mike,

Same thing. Utilizing keyword technology the studios will be able to granularly analyze which types of movies are making what levels of money.
